Finasteride is readily available. You can fill in an online form with no photos of pattern hair loss required, and get it sent to your house the next day. I disagree with how readily available it is online. It comes with side effects and it’s part of a range of treatment options that should be properly discussed with a healthcare professional. The benefits and risks should be weighed up by the patient.
